error with conditional formatting
 

I am having trouble with some conditional formatting of times. I set up a
rule so that if a value in D2:M2 is less than or equal to the value in C2, it
will be highlighted (yellow background). The problem is that C2 is based on
an average. For example, C2 says 0:43.2, but it is actually 0:43.19. Cell J2
is 0:43.2 (exactly), and I want it to be highlighted, but it isn't.

If it helps, here is more detail on the workbook setup...
Sheet1 through Sheet3 have times to the tenth of a second in D2 through M2
(i.e., m:ss.0), and N2=AVERAGE(D2:M2). On Sheet4, I calculate the minimum of
the averages in C2=MIN('Previous:May-08'!N2). Sheet4 is the one with the
conditional formatting.

Thanks,

Format your cells as mm:ss.00 and then you will get to the second decimal
point so you can se if it is actually less than or equal to C2.

You could use the ROUND function (or MROUND) in your CF condition formula.

I'm only working with times to the nearest tenth of a second, so I need the
number to behave as it is displayed (0:43.19 would round up to 0:43.2, and I
need it to act as if it is exactly 43.2).

I tried playing around with ROUND and MROUND, but I'm stumped.

I tried ROUND(C18,6), and that fixed my initial problem, but created
problems in other cells. I also tried ROUND(C18,5) and ROUND(C18,7) - both of
which had problems.

I then tried MROUND. The value for one tenth of a second (i.e., 0:00.1) is
0.00000115740740740741... So to round to the nearest tenth of a second I
tried MROUND(C18,0.00000115740740740741), and it didn't fix the problem.

Is there a way to round directly to a tenth of a second, instead of using
the long decimal value? Or am I doing it wrong?

That's slick - I didn't think of using fractions. I had trouble using it in
the CF condition formula, though. The formula I used was
"J18<=MROUND($C18,1/24/36000)" and I got an error saying that you can't
reference other worksheets or workbooks in a conditional format.
I used the MROUND function on C18 instead, and it worked fine.

Thanks for the help!

I think the problem with CF is that MROUND is in the Analysis ToolPak, and
CF treats that as being another workshhet or workbook.
